Title: Improvements in or relating to Furnace Charging Apparatus.
Inventor: NOELLE MAX
IPC: C21B7/18
Filed: 1909-08-21
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 19,289. Noelle, M. Aug. 21. Skips.-In a furnace-charging apparatus of the kind in which a skip containing the charge is lowered on to the furnace mouth by the turning movement of a trolly at the upper end of an inclined track, the skip is suspended from a beam pivoted to the trolly and guided in its turning movement by suitably arranged cam rails. As shown in Fig. 2, the beam F is pivoted on a cross-shaft E<2> on the trolly E, and is provided at its front end with a hook G' for supporting the charging-skip H, and at its rear end with rollers J running on guide-rails C. The trolly rails B<1> are horizontal at the upper end, while the guide-rails C are so shaped that the skip is lowered vertically on to the furnace mouth. Further rotation of the beam depresses the bottom H<3> of the skip and the bell R and allows the materials to enter the furnace. To prevent escape of gas, the skip is provided with a cover M carried by chains M<1> passing over pulleys N and connected to a drum O. The cover is raised and lowered automatically at the lower end of the hoist by a fixed rack engaging a pinion O<1> on the drum O. The opening in the cover is made sufficiently large to pass over the hook G', and the chains and pulleys are so arranged that the cover, in its raised position, is tilted as indicated in dotted lines. The trolly is operated by ropes K guided by suitably arranged pulleys, and a counterweight, attached by a connexion L<1> to the forward end of the beam, is provided.

Title: Improvements in Machinery for the Production of the Rivets of Drive Chains.
IPC: B21K1/58
Filed: 1910-03-23
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 7240. Perry & Co., and Bayliss, C. T. March 23. Drawing; forging chains; forging- punches; shearing- adjuncts. - In a machine for making rivets of drive - chains for cycles, automobiles, and the like, wire &c. is fed into a die carried by or formed in a slide, which is reciprocated first to shear off a blank and then to bring the blank to punches for recessing the ends and then to drawing or trueing dies. The wire 1 is fed into the shearing - die 20 by a spring- retracted cam-operated slide 2, the work being gripped between a fixed die 10 and a movable die 9, which has an inclined lower end and is operated by a spring-retracted plunger 11 moved forward when the spring-controlled trip-lever 13 engages a block 16 on the bed 3. The lever is tripped by the block on the return motion of the slide to release the die 9. The wire passes through the die 20 against a stop 27 which at this stage slightly enters the die, which is a little wider than the length of rivet desired. The slide 21 carrying the die 20 is moved upwards intermittently by a cam and lifting lever to shear off a blank and bring it opposite the V-pointed recessing punches 29, 30, which are mounted in spring-retracted carriers 31, 32 and are driven forward by cam-operated levers 36, 37. At this stage the stop 27, which is mounted in a spring- controlled plunger 64, is forced into a slot 69 in the slide 21 by an extension 67 on the lever 37. The cam now raises the slide 21 to a position opposite the drawing die 50 through which it is driven to reduce it to the desired diameter bv a plunger 53, mounted in a carrier 54 and operated by a cam-operated lever 56. A series of dies 50 are mounted in a cylindrical block 61, which may be rotated to bring another die into position when the previous die is worn and is fixed in position by a pin 62. The rivets are discharged through a shoot 52.

Abstract: 8737. Lindenthal, R. April 11. Moulds.-Relates to improvements in moulding- machines for concrete blocks of the type comprising a mould frame having hinged, turn-down sides and sliding cores guided in apertures in the rear wall. The mould frame a is removably supported upon a stand b, and the cores g are supported and guided by means of legs k fitted with rollers l running on tails m. A lever h for operating the cores is formed with a slotted portion embracing a shaft o connecting the legs k, and is pivoted to an arm i which forms an additional support for the mould frame. The withdrawal of the cores from the mould is facilitated by cam levers p<1> pivoted to the shaft o. To form smaller blocks, the mould may be divided longitudinally by a plate r, Fig. 4, horizontally by a filling-piece y, Fig. 5, or transversely by known partitions u, Fig. 8. When making solid blocks, the core apertures in the rear wall c are closed by filling-pieces q, Fig. 7.

IPC: B25B13/18
Filed: 1910-04-19
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 9452. Russell, F. W. April 19. Sliding-jaw wrenches.-Relates to adjustable wrenches of the type in which the jaws automatically close upon the flats of the nut when placed thereon, and turn the nut when the handle is actuated in one direction, but open against spring pressure and slip round the corners of the nut for a fresh grip on another pair of flats when the motion of the handle is reversed. The shanks e<1>, f<1> of the jaws E, F are slidably arranged on each other and fitted in the forked end B of the handle, which may be made in halves a<1>, a<2> riveted together. The connexion between the jaws and the handle is effected by a pin C engaging in a hole I in the jaw-shank e<1>, and a pin D engaging in a vertical inclined, but preferably curved, slot J in the jaw-shank f<1>, each pin extending only through its own shank. A coil spring G, loosely fitted between projections c<2>, f<2> on the shanks normally keeps the jaws closed and the handle swung over to the left, but pressure on the trigger H opens the jaws ready for engagement on the nut and brings the handle in position for an operative swing, as shown in Fig. 2.

Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 15,371. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. April 21, [Convention date]. Plant.-Turbine installations having two or four shafts each driven by a turbine, with a partial-impingement velocity stage on the highpressure turbines are so arranged that, for normal power, each half of the installation works independently, and for decreased power, the velocity stages are arranged in series. The installation resembles that described in Specification 19,750/10, but in that case the whole of the high-pressure turbines are arranged in series. In the four-shaft installation shown in Fig. 5, for normal power, the valves are arranged as shown in Fig. 6. Live steam enters the high-pressure turbines A at the pipes a, t, passes the velocity stages b, d, the reaction stages g, h of the high-pressure turbines, and the low-presure turbines B. For low power, the valves are arranged as in Fig. 5. Live steam enters at the pipe a, passes in series through velocity stage b, valve l and velocity stage d. It is then divided into two parts; one part flows through the reaction stage h and the low-pressure turbine on that side, the other part flows through the valve m to the reaction stage g and low-pressure turbine on that side. Other arrangements of turbines are described in the Specification.

Abstract: 4589. Radcliffe, J. Feb. 23. [Cognate Application, 20,635/11.] Plastic compositions containing fibres. - A composition approximating in properties to natural asphalts and bitumens is formed by incorporating finely-divided wood, cellulose, peat, or like organic matter with pitch, in proportions up to the point at which the composition becomes liquefiable by heat, with or without the addition of oil. The amount of cellulose material varies with the quality of the pitch, pitches containing a small quantity of infusible material requiring more cellulose than those containing a large quantity. For example, eighty to ninety parts of pitch are mixed with from ten to twenty parts of ground wood, with or without seven parts of linseed or other oil. The cellulose material may contain oil, for example cotton seed, linseed, tung bean, soya bean, or the like may be employed. The cellulose material may be added to the molten pitch, or may be ground up with the solid pitch and fused. For the purpose of road-making, the composition may be mixed with mineral matter. For electric insulation the composition is made from carbon-free pitch.
